C is the interior band, by which the stay is fastened to the collar.

At the ends ofthe stay B there areobutton-hoies, d, of linen or other suitable material,l and the fasteningband G is attached thereto at the ends.

'The collar, being folded or doubled, as seen in the drawing, and as they are usually made, is secured to the stay, by the fastening-band C, which is enclosed with the fold, as seen',.wl1ile the stay itself forms the inner wearing-surface of the'collar.

The stay and the collar may be attached together by small rivets, as seen at e, if desired.

To the inner side of the stayB there is a linen button-hole loop, j,.attached, for fastening the collar to the shirt-band at the back of the neck.

The stay and fastening-band yC, thus formed and secured together, may be used for any length of time, as the collar is attached or removed with the greatest facility.

I clailn as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The detachable inner stay or lining'B, and the narrow detachable band C, applied to the collar A as described and shown, for the purposes specied.
